    Highly Recommend My…read morewife got me a lesson and some time on the water as a gift I did not know what I was in for but it far exceeded my expectations Chris is passionate about fly fishing and it comes across in how he teaches it. If you have any interest at all in Fly Fishing don't hesitate, get in touch with Chris to get you on the right path. He is also very knowledgeable of NJ Waters. New or not spending time on the water with Chris is highly recommended.

    The Pequest River is a 36 mile tributary of the Delaware River in northwestern NJ, it's name…read moremeaning comes from the Native American term for "Open Land". The Pequest Trout Hatchery owns over 4000 acres on which they raise trout. Founded and established in 1982 the Hatchery is presently responsible for the stocking of over 600,000 brook, brown, and rainbow trout annually. The Pequest River Trout Conservation fishing areas and trails are open daily, dawn till dusk and can be fished as long as all NJ State fish and game regulations are met. And you will definitely need a valid fishing license as well as a valid trout stamp which help funds the stocking program. The Pequest Trout Hatchery and Interpretive Center is open Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm. This is an excellent tour especially anyone who is interested in seeing how trout are raised, housed, and released into NJ freshwater streams and rivers. Get your kid out of the house and take them Fishing, you'll both be glad that you did.

    Pequest Trout Hatchery is a state owned and operated trout hatchery. It began i'ts operation in…read more1981 and produces 700.000 trout annually on 5,000 acres of WMA land. The hatchery tour is self-guided which is clearly marked by a green trout on the sidewalk that takes you to two different hatchery areas. The nursery building and the egg room. There are pictures on the windows which describe the operation from fertilizing the egg to final release of the trout into streams and rivers. You are not permitted in the rooms themselves. Brown, rainbow, etc. trout are all raised here. The best time to visit is between mid-September to early October but the facility is open year round. The second sidewalk trail leads to the Observation Platform. The platform gives you an overlook of the raceway (pools of trout) held year around for size development. If you are an avid fisherman, biologist or just interested in science this is a worthwhile experience with much to learn. The visitor's center has loads of taxidermy and I especially liked the black bear. Dioramas, a small pond with trout, and information boards add to your knowledge of the natural world. Aside from the hatchery there are a number of other activities available like hiking, hunting, bird watching and fishing in nearby Pequest river. The red trail has interpretive signs and leads you to the yellow and blue trails. Special events include their Open House (April 2/3) which is free, fly casting for beginners, family fishing basics and hunter's education which require a two week pre-registration. There are a lot of outdoor activities offered at Pequest.
